Getting Amazon Fire Stick Remote to work with Kodi
-
I've got a fresh install of Retropie on a Raspberry Pi Zero W, and have managed to successfully pair a Bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo, an 8BITDO FC30 Zero, and the Amazon remote. I haven't installed any emulators yet, but from navigating the system everything seems to work fine, except the Amazon remote's buttons don't work, just the direction control. When I start up Kodi, the keyboard and 8BITDO work fine. I was even able to configure the 8BITDO from within Kodi, but the Amazon doesn't work at all. Not even the directional pad. It's not recognized as a controller from within Kodi. Would it be possible to get the Amazon remote working in Kodi?
Thanks for any help! -
@rchadwick I never had one to test but check if this helps:

Thanks for the response. I followed the directions, but it still doesn't work. Do I have to do something in Kodi to have it recognize the keyboard.xml?

@rchadwick no, just put it on the -/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/keyboard.xml, it will be automatically used.
